C Says /k/

The letter c often says /k/, a sound from the back of your throat, like a little cough: k, k.

Cat, cup, and cow start with /k/. Here is a surprise: the letter k can make the same sound, as in kite. Listen: c-c-cat.

Pretend to cough softly each time you hear a word starting with this sound.
